Well I did a swap a JDM H22 swap into my 92 lude a while ago and I have been throwing a TPS code since. I finally decided to replace it and my radiator. The radiator blew apart at the top side while ideling one day. The car died when it happened. So I get the parts yesterday and install them. I started it up and it seemed fine. But I hadn't filled my coolant yet so I shut it off after running only a minute. I had started it like 5 times in the last couple weeks as it sat without any problems.
Then I put in the coolant and all of a sudden it wont start. Turns over great but will not start. Plugs are in great shape, a little blackened so I cleaned them.
Any advise or possible explanations would be great.
Thanks
Derek
Also I removed the throttle body to get at the TPS if that matters. I double checked the vaccum lines and they are right.

hearing the fuel pump engage and thinking you may have a spark doesn't mean a damn thing.
Pull the plug and then put it back inthe wire, then ground it to something. Crank the car and see if it sparks.
As for fuel, you can pullt he fuel rail with the injectors and see if they are spraying.

Well I found time to do as you suggested, and checked for fuel and spark. Turns out the fuel is there but I dont have any spark.
I replaced the cap and rotor right away, but still nothing.
What should I do next?
FYI - I am using my external coil but a JDM internal coil dizzy. I used a posting here at HT about eliminating the internal coil by wiring the yellow to the black on the dizzy side. This worked great up to this point. Could this have caused me a problem?
Any advise at all would be great.
